Brewer’s yeast is the ultimate byproduct of beer brewing. While it might not rival Vegemite in taste, it certainly packs a nutritional punch! Here’s why it earns a spot in our fish food:

• Rich in Protein: With 40–50% protein, brewer’s yeast is a powerhouse of essential amino acids like lysine, threonine, and arginine—perfect for supporting fish growth and repair.
• High in B-Vitamins: Loaded with B-complex vitamins (B1, B2, B3, and B6), brewer’s yeast helps convert food into energy and keeps fish healthy and active.
• Packed with Minerals: A natural source of selenium, chromium, and zinc, this yeast supports immune function and vital cellular processes.
• Immune-Boosting Beta-Glucans: Known for strengthening immune systems, beta-glucans help fish resist disease and recover quickly from stress.

Brewer’s yeast may come from humble beginnings, but its impact on fish health and nutrition is anything but ordinary.

Our Brewer's Yeast come in a fine powder, so it only just needs a quick quality check before use!

Repurposed byproduct:

Brewer’s yeast is a natural byproduct of beer brewing, making it a prime example of upcycling. Instead of being discarded, it’s given a second life as a nutrient-rich ingredient, reducing waste and contributing to a circular economy.

‍

Minimal Environmental Impact:

As it is a byproduct of an existing industry, Brewer's Yeast is far less resource-intensive than other protein sources.

‍

Renewable and Abundant:

With the global beer industry thriving, brewer’s yeast is a continuously renewable resource, ensuring a steady and reliable supply without putting additional strain on natural ecosystems.

• Ancient Origins: Brewer’s yeast has been used for thousands of years—archaeologists discovered evidence of fermentation in ancient Egyptian brewing jars dating back to 3000 BCE!
• "Umami Bomb": Brewer’s yeast contains glutamates, giving it a natural umami flavor that fish love—and making it a popular ingredient in vegan and vegetarian cooking for the same reason.
• Vitamin Factory: Brewer’s yeast can naturally produce B-vitamins during fermentation, which is why it’s a nutritional powerhouse for both humans and animals.

Yes! Brewer’s yeast is safe and beneficial for most aquarium species, including omnivores, herbivores, and even shrimp. Its amino acids and vitamins make it a versatile ingredient for aquatic diets.

Brewer’s yeast supports shell growth in shrimp due to its calcium and mineral content. It also aids digestion and boosts overall health through its vitamins and beta-glucans.
